Deep-Cheep

Deep-Cheep are a different version of normal Cheep-Cheeps that first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. They look and act just like regular Cheep-Cheeps until Mario gets close to them, at which point they will begin to swim towards and hurt him. They will give up the chase if Mario gets past them however, so they're not too much of a threat if encountered in small pairs.

Appearance: They look just like normal Cheep-Cheeps which have appeared throughout Mario's adventures, except they are a vibrant green color. They have the same wing-like fins, yellow tail, pink lips and yellow mohawk as all Cheep-Cheeps do. The only other notable difference is their eyes, which are always furrowed in an angry expression.

How to defeat them: Deep-Cheeps can be taken care of in all the same ways as normal Cheep-Cheeps. A fireball is a common way to get rid of them, although they can be frozen by iceballs, flipped with a tailspin and ran through by Invincible Mario. It's usually best to go with fireballs, due to them dropping coins like most enemies who are hit with fire. Rack up on coins and get that 1-Up. After all, it's always good to have another life to fall back on.

Trivia: Deep-Cheeps look alot like the Mr. Kipper enemy found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
